I think its 1.49, but I will the the official time and numbers(he tore it up).

 

Besides his frame, he's top .000001% 

But can he block edges?? what's his route tree?? those are the issues. 

personally I feel he should be in the discussion, among 4/5 others. Who knows the new hire Darrel bevell may change the offense system some, I hope he does......

Have we not learned our lesson about RAS warriors?

The dude had no slouch at QB either.  Some had Moore QB1 over Mendoza before he opted to stay in school.

See the difference?

Sadiq will be so good in NFL if stays healthy.

I have not learnt my lesson and will always want Uber athletic profiles. Sorry, Im a whore about it....

Im not the right guy to defend Kenyon, I just have a understanding with this years draft, numbers, and panthers roster. He is more of "upside/project" and we are talking 19th pick here too. 

I know about the years of all the mock drafts with TEs in them and I did want Pitts too.... Look I love the current TEs on the roster too, just this guy should be better than any of them at their best. 

Right now I feel OT is the correct target, but panthers as a org are trying to win in 2026 than 2027. So tea leaves and all, Kenyon would help this year. You can even say flex him to slot for most of the snaps and think of tmac on smoke routes with Kenyon blocking for him. I just hate BY is the shooter.....

warren, I would say he's the better prospect even without his rookie year, *but he was late bloomer like XL if Im right, plus age was 25ish?? Bears picked love above him, mainly cause of recs. 

You can make a case that Kenyon is not a TE, but a moving weapon for offense that can be in the backfield, on the LOS, slot, and even X.... imean he's got XLs combine on some numbers.... He would be better to a offense mad scientist type...is that Dave? or is that bevell??

I think the Panthers should have him as a 19 pick, with others...

He's probably going to be a stud. If we actually had a QB with physical tools I would be over the moon at the possibility of adding such a talent. But we need help on defense and Bryce Young can barely see down the middle of the field without hopping around.

[Growl]

it seems to be pretty likely he’s the pick if he’s there, but from the work on TE’s they’re doing it seems like they expect him to be gone.

In any case they’re clearly targeting one.

exactly, what NFL team would come out and directly say if they "weren't considering" a prospect a month before the draft

[csx]

1 year ago he was broadcasting our interest in Jalon Walker. He's either in the dark and guessing or doing work for Morgan again.

What are the chances the team worked so hard to keep last years pick out of the headlines before they made it to telegraphing this years pick 2 months ahead?

[Bear Hands]

McMillan/Coker down the stretch, healthy, combined for ~45% target share.  Our RBs accounted for ~12-15% combined.  So you've got around 40% left between WR3-4 and TE1-3 all divid up marginally and dependent on matchup.  That's a huge chunk left that another real receiving weapon would help tremendously.  

Not opposed by any means.  Especially if that means said TE could play slot like Kittle.  Guys like LaPorta and Hockenson do so as well.  

The nice thing about Saddiq is his proven ability in both slot and in-line.  It's what BAL always envisioned for Likely that hasn't happened yet.    

So it gives you a guy who can play there while you can throw in Tremble/Evans in-line.  Also allows us to play 13 more which opens up the run game.  He could really open up the offense overall which you need w/Bryce.  

And then it puts less pressure on needing to find the dynamic/shifty guy we've always pined for since Smitty left.  

That being said, I'm not buying any reports after last year haha.

We aren’t obligated to adhere to last year's target distribution ratios.

I have about 3.7% confidence BY would target him..... 

That high?

Of course not.  Reference points.

I wouldn’t hate it if he’s the BPA. But I’m also not ready to give up on our other TEs. Sanders has starter potential that was sideline by injury. Tremble and Evans aren’t bad options either. The floor of that position group is the best it’s been in a long time.

 

I also agree with the other comments that we need to get some youth next to Derrick Brown.
